Nimble firmware upgrade path

Hello, I was wondering if someone were to point me into the right direction.  I am looking at my Nimble storage and wondering what is the best firmware update path to take.  Currently it is on firmware 5.2.1.800.  I was searching through to see what the newest firmware is and its released notes but I cant seem to find that.  I am fairly new to managing the nimble storage and looking for some documentation as navigating this keeps me going around in circles here at the HP site.
What is the latest stable nimble firmware?

The easiest thing is using the Management GUI. 

Main menu: Administration then Software.
Click Download and it will display any versions that are not blocked for your configuration. Unless someone has changed the settings in InfoSight, it should only show any General Availability versions; versions that are suitable for mission-critical systerms. 

At the very least once you have the available list, you can check the release notes for each.

Click the desired version and have it download.
Once the download is complete, click Update, acknowledge the EULA, and it will start the update process.

Log in to InfoSight, then go to Software Downloads and HPE Alletra, NimbleOS.

The latest General Availability version is 6.1.1.100.

Depending on your hosts' operating system(s), you may need to update the HPE Storage Connection Manager (NCM) package for optimal IO.

You can upgrade to any displayed version. Typically the highest version in the list.

That's fine. At one time, everybody was a new user. 

Going forward, please start a new discussion topic for each question.
